how much do wrestlers get paid a year?

Question

how much do wrestlers get paid a year (smackdown raw ecw)

Answer 1

Well the list that Carlito_socres posted is fake, i can tell you that, but it all depends on the wrestling to determine how much they get paid, wrestlers that work for the WWE mostly get $250,000 + but it all depends on how well they work, and how much they are used and how popular they are and if they are a main eventer, if you take triple h for example, i can guarentee you that he earns millions, but if you take someone like Paul london, he is probably earning no more than $400,000 a year, but this is only the WWE, if you look at TNA, they only have shows 4 times a month and the wrestlers there earn from $1,000 - $4,000 per show, also depending on their status in the company, and then there are the indies where wrestlers earn next to nothing.

Answer 2

Depends what tier you get to. Guys like Triple H and Undertaker are on 7 figure digits, whereas lowly jobbers earn significantly less.

Answer 3

It all depends how high there popularly is, how good they are at wrestling, and how long there contract is. Beside that they get around a million dollars or more.

Answer 4

A millions dollars like the NFL, MLB, and the NBA.

Answer 5

Below is the World Wrestling Entertainment talent roster payroll that was taken from October of 2004 until February of 2006. The shown dollar amount beside each wrestler is the grand total that they earned from World Wrestling Entertainment in a one year period (downside guarantees, bonuses, and merchandise shares). Some wrestler's were given special privileges and bonuses in their contracts which can also be seen beside their total pay. All wrestler's contracts begin and end at different months of the year, there for each shown amount is what that particular wrestler earned in a 365 day time period between October 2004 and February 2006 (or however long they have been with the company). All dollar amounts were rounded up/down (Example: $244,766 would be $245,000)
